Good thing to consider is finding someone in your area that has a lot of experience in the hobby and try and get them to mentor you and introduce you to other in the hobby in your area... you will get a lot of good advice and there are lots of reefers out there that I'm sure would love to show you their systems as well help you hands on... might want to throw a post out there under the Edmonton forum and see if you get any response...

The foam isn't necessary and doesn't hurt as long you keep it clean. Just a bunch of work for something that probably isn't doing much.
When I first set up the current tank had a 3" foam block in front of the bulkhead going to the pump. Part was dealing with micro bubbles (running ~2000 gph), part so I won't suck LR rubble into the pump and part to catch the detritus I could see in the sump. Eventually sorted out the microbubbles and detritus (filter socks and lowered flow) and replaced foam with eggcrating which I know isn't doing anything. Way nicer than rinsing the foam out once a week.
